Bobby is an amputee
He's got no elbows got no knees
But Bobby moves- to some degree
When Bobby bobs across the sea...

Armand Frnandez Arman
collected bits&bobs in a tin can
Visual rather  than a conceptual realist
with junk he did installations  persist...

There is a duck in the park
Called Billy
He is very, very silly
He bobs about and quacks
And Laughs
Then floats upside down
Completely daft....

A fat flouncy funky flunky house sparrow bobs and bows his way tacking like a clinker built  

dingy sailing across our sea of grass catching worms fattened by May's sun and showers ....

A Carolina Wren
bobs and weaves
inside a ring of sunlight.

It is shadow boxing,
but there are no shadows

yet it still jabs and moves.

A boxer
fights the shadow of himself....

How the flower
Bobs and weaves
Sharing tea
With some bees

How the colour
Nods and sways
Breezy coolness
Sunlight rays

How the scent
Softly dances
Perfumed nose
Loving glances...

as the robin sits
his head bobs up and down so
peEk a boo’s with worm
~
his slimy body
the worm wiggles back and forth
peEk a boo’s the bird

on tip of a wisp
as it bevels and bloats
streamlined scribbles etching a note
upturned waves collapsing
in cotton bobs
greys and embers mating a mistake
ethereal tendril veins knitting patters undone
phoenix fogs missed mist
of almost pink...

    His head bobs and weaves
      whatever the music conceives

    Drug-fueled rhythms race through his brain
      neural connections moan and strain

    His over-30-self hides his face, grieves
      at his current edition’s migraines

In the rust belt loss of work is felt
as industries went overseas..
Bill's, Jane's and Bob's now pining
for jobs to support their families needs.
Good jobs are such a rarity and people here
don't want charity, so send us some good
companies please!...

Alien Cube 1 and 2 Meet Earth – Haiku

     Alien Cube 1 Meets Earth

heavy cube hits tree
leaves a dent, falls in river
sinks, fish jumps, goes glug!


   Alien Cube 2 Meets Earth 

lands on lake, bobs
a spaceship, alien cube
beeps, communicates...

Long necked
with legs like ruby stilts
the crane lifts it wings
to it's side
and dances with little strides
It bobs and hops:
a skipping rope with feathers
then lowers it's wings
to gauge the effect.
Almost like the wind is a critic
It finds a mate....

Watching his paws twitch
as he watches
the raindrops explode
just beyond our 
shelter
Bobs his head towards me
as oils slicked skies
are cracked by spoons and forks of lightning
The aftermathic rumbles brings
his shambles of fur a little closer
and a whine
of a look
Protect me from the thunder...

I’ve sealed it in a paper box… 
Every trace I had 
I could not bear the memory 
A story ended sad!

Picture frames & baby books 
Little bits and bobs 
Any trace I found of you 
Kept hidden form my sobs.

Deeper than a mother could
Have ever felt the pain 
Losing my small baby child 
Has driven me insane!...

Listen to poem:

Exuberance bobs, bops and bounces
on a trampoline of joyous elation.
Its riff a catchy refrain
that sticks in the brain,
prods and pokes receptive minds 
into action and reaction.
Like a buoy rocking on waves,
to and fro,
up and down,
side to side,
Just can't sit still,
all aflame and glowing, 
sparking with joyous jubilation....

Sparring with demons, and dragons and deadheads
It bobs and weaves like a drunken sailor.
Omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient
I'm quite attached to it - joined at the psyche.

Image of an incubus twirling as I do.
Patron Saint of agony, I curse it
And relegate it to a 2nd-class personage.
Out, damn spot, out - and take the blood with you....

His body is primed , muscles pushing at the skin, being magnetically drawn to the water. Focus so heavy the air sags as the clock winds down.
And then the push-off.
Like a fish, flying through the water. Gliding and slicing.
A twist, a turn, a flip. A head bobs above the water.
Breathe in deep. Deep. Deeper. 
A win. A glow of satisfaction.

Dedicated to Ryan Lochte....

she said goodbye to him

give baby seal a treat
as she bobs him on her nose
to the applauding crowd so sweet
round and round she goes
she's the main attraction of the show
a flip of silver brings her smiles
as she dances all the while
she knows her cues by heart
a final wave to him in the aisles
the baby seal show now comes to depart

The Cock Of The Town

Poppy cock! says the clucking cock
to the beat of the clicking clock.

He bobs his head up and down
as the world turns around.

He's looking for another cock to block,
it for the thrill of the fight that he wants to lock.

He struts his stuff like he's the cock of the town
it's true none of his hens have a frown.
Perhaps he is the cock of the town....

The girl drops 
the river;
woman bobs up;
aqua's flatline
on top basement 
blue, then it all,
violet doom, as
temperatue drops
off the girl—
aqua flatline,
sleezy sleet,
water glasses
on her nose,
scrub—
I'm touching
up, up, up.
down that
river before—
beyond swim's
flight; it runs
for the sky—
in someone's 
dead frame,
unseeable bank—
the woman passes
out, dry....

Listen to poem:

*Image of Plume by Gfycat.

Plumage

A feather swims in a vagrant squall...reeling whilst plummeting,
Its burden then bobs impeccably...outstretched like some mushroom,
Pirouette spirals expel...trivial rippled waves ashore.
